“I was really ticked,” Revere said. “I thought that sucker was up the middle but it just stuck there and the shortstop grabbed it.”

Revere was still upset when he came back to the dugout after the next half inning so he retreated to the clubhouse and remembered some advice his mother had given him: When things aren’t going well, find a quiet place, “your happy place,” Revere said, and re-focus.

“I gave myself a time out,” he said. “I came to my happy place and it helped me.”
